Author Topic: a new way to drive (tanks)  (Read 3173 times)

some people have wanted a way to drive and shoot a (rotating) tank cannon at the same time and i might have found a way
when you drive a vehicle the only thing that moves with the camera is the players head is it possible the have a tank cannon follow a players head?

As in, mount a players head? I guess so, FFC lets you mount a player to your head if I ain't wrong.

There's currently one drivable tank that you can shoot from your drivers seat, but it's turret does not rotate.


Is it possible to root the player's head movement to the cannon without mounting it?  From what I know of the Torque Engine, this should be possible.

The controls for this would be arrow keys for the movements and mouse for the turret.

no you dont because ital already wrok for every one you just need the vehicle turret to mount the players head when the player enters the vehicle

it doesn't work like that to use arrow keys and WASD keys to control a tank you would need a client sided mod
you can't just "mount the players head" to the turret

oh 4got about that


Tank already drives using wasd. Torque could measure head rotation without client-sided modifications.
